Again y te me.

Feel just that much more...

Water quantity seems more significant crisis

Dear Editor: Re: Watershed management Of the three major aspects’ of

watershed management — water -

quality, walter. quaitity, and regime (timing of flow) — only water quality. and the potential impact on water ry activities in the watersheds ap- pear to gct significant ‘discussion in the media, and is the focus of the unrelenting interest of the en- vironmental groups about such activities,

According to recent actions (ie. sprinkling restrictions) and notifications from .the Greater Vancouver’ Water District ‘mangement, water quantity rather than water quality appears to be the more: significant crisis facing the residerts and’ industrial com- ‘munity of the Lower Mainland.

My recollection from studies

guality of forest- -

completed in forest hydrology some years ago (although some- “what hazy now) is that significant research in watersheds in other jurisdictions has resulted in timber harvesting strategies designed to increase snowpacks and to reduce interception Insses from winter precipitation.

Since the primary’ goal of management of the local water- sheds is to ensure the maximiza- tion of the potential to provide water of the quality and quantity required by an expanding popula- tion, 1 would respectfully submit that vegetation management strategies .to enhance the hydrologic capabilities of the wa- tersheds may become essential in the future.

We shouldn’t forget, however, that Mr. Trudeau also “did some globetrotting at our expense at the _time he quit. «”

It seems we ‘paid his expenses while hé was searching the world for a ?ob with the UN. :

.He even received a $50,000 award from them for whatever it was he did during the search — a tidy amount that. could have helped defray his expenses, but I don’t believe it did. ;
